Fun with Language

From the wedding announcement page of the Tennessean: “The six attendants wore blue raw silk dresses with pockets and varying necklines that hit right below the knee.” (gives a whole new meaning to “low cut” necklines!)

From a home-repair mailer:” All permanent repairs guaranteed for one year.” (Nothing last forever anymore, right?)

From an article about a hotel renovation in the Reno Gazette-Journal: “The downstairs, which will be connected to the upstairs by a spiral staircase, will have more meeting space plus food and beverage fatalities.” (yeh, like if they throw a lot of parties with booze!)
